I couldn't help but stare at Jace the whole road in awe, it was very sweet of him to have bought all these nice gifts for my mom.
"That was really sweet."I admitted softly.
"What was?"he asked curiously , glancing at me for a quick second before turning his attention back to the road.
I jumped in my seat, did I just say that out loud?
"I uh..well, nothing."
He turned to look at me yet again with a curious expression on his face, it was obvious he wanted to know what I was talking about and knowing him he would stop at nothing until he found out.
"Do you really want to play that game with me?"he asked narrowing his eyes.
His eyes always had me glued to my spot, whenever he looked at me I felt as though I would either drown in them or melt from his heated stare.
I swallowed and glared at him, it was so unfair that he always had the upper hand.
After a few seconds of our small staring contest I finally gave up , I wasn't in the mood for a car accident !
"It was sweet how you bought all these nice presents for my mom."I explained.
He was silent for a while, tongue in cheek but then he turned to me again, with an amused expression on his face.
"I still don't get how you could walk out to buy presents without any money."he said with a chuckle.
Why did he always have to spoil the mood with being such a jerk!
He took one look at me and started to laugh again.
"Why don't you keep your eyes on the road."I said through gritted teeth.
"And miss seeing your beautiful face."he teased.
Even though I knew he was just teasing I couldn't help but blush.
"How far again till we reach?"I asked impatiently.
We have been driving for hours, I regretted not going in the plane with my mother.
"Not too long again, don't worry you'll get to see your mother today."he said reassuring me.
I smiled and relaxed in my seat at his words, that was the main thing, seeing my mom today, knowing her she must be extremely worried.
"What about your mom?"I asked.
"What about her?"he asked his playful mood vanishing as I mentioned his mom.
"Aren't you going to get her anything?" I inquired.
"No."he said flatly.
"Why?"I pressed.
"I don't really want to talk about it okay." he replied in a rough tone , gripping the steering wheel hard.
What was his problem?
Why was he acting so because of his mother?There was definitely something going on between them.
I took the opportunity to listen to music, following his sudden change in mood.
Closing my eyes, I plugged on my headset and listened to the music of Celine Dion, her music always relaxed me, it was just so romantic and sweet.
I always dreamt of my prince charming, especially after reading romance novels and watching Cinderella when I was small.
Evert night before i fell asleep my mom would tuck me in to bed and read a fairytale story for me to fall asleep.I looked forward to those stories every night and up to this day still wish that I could have a love story with a happy ending.
I sighed and pushed those thoughts out of my head, there was no use wishing for something that wasn't possible.

"Miss Rose, we're here."I heard someone say.
I shut my eyes tighter ignoring the hand on my shoulder.
"Oh for heavens sake would you get up!"Jace snapped annoyed.
I was too tired to open my eyes, and totally unaware of my surroundings.
I continued to ignore him, loving the fact that I was ignoring him.
"If you don't get up now I'll have no choice but to lock you in the car."he threatened.
Damn.Why did he always have to win?
My eyes snapped open as I glared at him in frustration before turning to look at the scenery in front of me.
